"I successfully built my ios app backend using Express.js and SQLite3 on my Linode VPS server. However I'm concerned about server issues like downtime or unexpected issues and I don't want to spend time managing server anyway. So I'll move it to Render and switch the database to PostgreSQL as I've heard SQLite3 can't handle concurrent write access"

"I'm finally so happy to see the puzzle almost complete. After releasing my flux app I wanted to build this headshot ai app but I stopped when I realized I needed to build a backend.

I also need models for my app for onboarding/testimonials etc. If you want to help let me know. I'll let you train your pic for free"

"When do you ask users for permission (For example notifications photos library etc.) I've seen many apps ask for all permissions when the user opens the app at once but I find that annoying and it ruins the experience. I prefer asking for permissions when they are needed. What do you think"
